<![CDATA[This study aims to describe the challenges and strategies faced by parents in fostering independence in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Using a descriptive qualitative approach and systematic literature review, combined with interviews and observations conducted at the child’s home, the research reveals that active parental involvement—such as structured routines, daily assistance, and the integration of therapeutic techniques into home activities—has a significant positive impact on the development of independence, communication, and literacy skills in children with autism. However, parents also encounter various obstacles, including communication difficulties, repetitive behaviors, sensory sensitivities, and limited access to professional services. The findings highlight that parent training, collaboration with professionals, and support group involvement are crucial in optimizing the parental role. Empowering parents as primary partners in intervention is essential for achieving meaningful and sustainable independence in children with autism within the home environment.]]>
